I nominate Whispering Imps Black Edition Gaff card. :D
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Good one Princess!  I will second this because of its unique originality.

Thanks.  I came up with the idea for the score cards, based on a vintage deck I'd seen using the same method.  :))  Don't take my word for it - check it out.

Thanks, but it's not like I can really take credit.  It was something I discovered, not created.  All I did was pass on the idea.

Just to be clear, there are two sets of Indy diptychs: Paul Revere and Lady Independence and the swords of freedom.
I take it that you mean all four cards?
If so, I second!

Thanks Nurul!

I vote for the Origins Gaff, but then again -- I'm biased!

You're allowed to be biased - these are just nominations, after all.  I'll consider the card seconded.

I nominate The Aquila deck Diptych.

Do you recall which deck had the diptych?  I recall that only one of them had it, while the other had an extra joker with a reveal on it: "THE ARTS" instead of "THE MYTH", and the font used also made it look like "7HEARTS".

I wonder if anyone's going to nominate that one for the "reveal card" category?

The Limited Edition deck has a diptych and a QoC with the 5oH in one hand. The standard edition does have the two jokers you mentioned but also has a gaff card, the AoD with the gaff being the three card back.
